Vegan restaurant will replace Teele Square (ex-Soleil) Cafe ?

[ron_newman]

The Somerville Licensing Commission last night approved the application of 'True Bistro, LLC' for a liquor license to open a vegan restaurant at 1153 Broadway. This is the current location of Teele Square Cafe (formerly Soleil Cafe).

And they aren't really city employees, they are citizens who serve on a city committee (and receive some modest compensation, but not a full-time salary)

There are three commissioners. The chair, Andrew Upton, looks like he's in his 30s to early 40s, and surely knows what 'vegan' means. But the other two commissioners are much much older.

One of the commissioners is 87, apparently! And he's held several public offices in the city.

Where he was born.

But apparently he's "out of touch" with "the people who live in this city" because he's not familiar with veganism.
